When is the fleet freight/cargo message disseminated?

The fleet freight/cargo message is disseminated before significant supply operations to ensure that all pertinent information regarding the anticipated cargo needs and logistics is communicated effectively. This message outlines what materials and supplies are expected to be loaded or unloaded and ensures that the necessary personnel are prepared and resources are allocated appropriately. Dissemination prior to these operations helps to streamline the process and prevent delays, as it allows for proper planning and coordination among various departments involved in logistics and supply chain management.

During other activities, such as port visits, drills, or crew changes, while there may be communications regarding supplies, they are not specifically tied to the dissemination of fleet freight/cargo messages in the same structured and preparatory way. Therefore, timing the message for significant supply operations is vital for operational efficiency and effectiveness.
